CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to U.S. Application Ser. No. 62/579,999, filed on Nov. 1, 2017, and entitled “Resolving Technology Issues,” the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND

Debugging is the process of finding and resolving of defects that prevent correct operation of computer software or a system.

Debugging tactics can involve interactive debugging, control flow analysis, unit testing, integration testing, log file analysis, monitoring at the application or system level, memory dumps, and profiling. Normally the first step in debugging is to attempt to reproduce the problem. This can be a non-trivial task, for example as with parallel processes or some unusual software bugs. Also, specific user environment and usage history can make it difficult to reproduce the problem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A user may encounter problems with their computer that impedes their ability to get work done. These problems may include, but are not limited to, system crashes, bugs, login issues, authorization issues and other similar problems. At the same time, some occupations do not allow for sufficient time to address these problems in a conventional manner. For example, service representatives in a call center are expected to maintain a certain call rate. In these circumstances, users may work around the problem and avoid reporting technical issues due to the amount of time making a report takes away from their other responsibilities.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a user interface 102 that enables easy reporting of technical issues that occur in an application 122. In order to make the reporting of technical issues easier and more complete, a user interface 102 of a computer may include a record feature 104 that enables the user to record both the actions that they are taking as well as any comments or explanations that the user provides (for example, by speaking into a microphone while performing activities on the computer). For example, when the user encounters an error message 106, the user can press the record application 104 to bring up a recording toolbar 110. In this example, the toolbar 110 includes a record button 116, a pause button 114, and a send button 112. The record button 116 causes the recording feature to start recording. The pause button 114 causes the record feature to temporarily stop recording, the send button 112 causes the record feature to package the information received up until this time and send the error report to an error processing computer system, as described further below. In some implementations, the record feature may include more or fewer options. For example, the record feature may record everything that happens on the computer from the time the record feature is launched until the recording is stopped/sent. In some implementations, the user may be given a notification, such as an overlay message 120 or other indicator that lets the user know that their voice and actions on the computer are being recorded.

In some implementations, the record feature may optionally allow the user to “talk through” the solution. The record feature may generate an audio recording based on the user's discussion.

In some implementations, the record feature may track the actions taken by the user, for example, the mouse movements 118, clicks, keys stuck, and other information. The record feature may also provide a screen shot of the user interface each time the user performs one of a preselected number of actions (such as clicking on a button, entering a value in a field, making a selection, etc. The record feature may also take a screen shot when the record feature launches and when the user selects to send the completed report. In some implementations, the screen shots can be limited to the application the user is interacting with (for example, the screen shots may not show the user's background or other executing application. In some implementations, the recording may also include a list of the processes executing on the computer.

FIG. 2 illustrates an example environment in which the issue reporting system can be used. The user may generate a report from a computer system 202. The report may be sent to a report processing system 204. The report processing system 204 may perform operations that are intended to clean up the report and get it ready for further analysis and processing.

The processing can include, for example, removing sensitive information from the report (such as customer identity information, account balances, etc.). The processing can perform other activities, including but not limited to natural language processing, image processing, and data formatting. In some implementations, the processing can include formatting the data for processing by a learning machine 206. The processing can also include formatting the data to be reviewed by an information technology team 208. In some implementations, the processing can include routing the report to an appropriate information technology team out of several different information technology teams.

The learning machine 206 or the information technology group 208 may get back to the user with a solution or potential solution to their problem. Because the report includes a record of the user reproducing the technical issue, it can be substantially easier to find a solution to the problem. In some implementations, the user may be provided with an option as to whether or not they wish to record an audio explanation.

In some implementations, the report may be first sent to the learning machine 206. If the learning machine does not identify a potential solution that meets a threshold likelihood of success (for example, an amount greater than a selected number from 50-100%) then the report may be sent to the technology team 308. If the learning machine does identify a potential solution that meets the threshold the solution may be provided to the user 202.

FIG. 3 illustrates an example user interface 302 which demonstrates notifying a user that a solution is being suggested. The user may be notified, for example, by the pop up notification 304, that a solution has been found. When the user selects the notification 304, a text 306 or other form of communication may instruct the user how to resolve the problem. In some instances, the problem may have been resolved by the technical team behind the scenes, and the notification may simply notify the user to try again. In other instances, the user may be prompted to take certain actions to resolve the problem. In this example, the user is prompted to upgrade their software and is provided a link 308 to do so automatically. The notification may also include an area where the user can provide feedback as to the efficacy of the solution. In this example, the user is prompted to answer the question as to whether the actions resolved the issue 310. The feedback from the user may be used to refine future suggestions, as discussed further below.

In some implementations, a user with an active report may be provided with an option to explain a work around solution 312. In general, a work around solution does not resolve the core issue, but describes a way that the user was/is able to complete their objectives despite the issue. A work around report may be send to the back end systems and provided to other users who experience similar technical problems while the issue is being resolved.

FIG. 4 illustrates an example document processing pipeline 400. The document processing pipeline 400 includes processes can be performed on the document before the report is provided to a technical team and/or a learning machine. Generally, the processes in the pipeline can be performed in any order. The processes may be performed by a document processing server (for example, the server 204 of FIG. 2), by a user computer (for example, the computer 202 of FIG. 2) or by a combination of different computers.

The document processing pipeline 400 can include a process which performs natural language processing 402 on audio recordings included in the report. In general, natural language processing enables computers to analyze, understand, and derive meaning from human language in a useful way. Natural language processing enables the process to perform tasks such as automatic summarization, translation, named entity recognition, relationship extraction, sentiment analysis, speech recognition, and topic segmentation. The process can generate a transcription of the audio recording. The process can also analyze the audio and/or the transcription in order to determine the nature of the problem. This information can be used, for example, to route the problem to the correct technical team or teams.

The document processing pipeline 400 can include a process to remove sensitive information 404. The process removes selected information from the report, for example, personally identifiable information, account balances and numbers, transaction history amounts, etc.

The document processing pipeline 400 can compress 406 from the report. Compressing the report can include using traditional data compression methods as well as removing extraneous information. For example, the process can remove duplicate screen shots. In general, compression methods that are lossless (that is, that do not degrade the quality of the information included in the report) are preferred.

The document process pipeline 400 can also include preparing input data 408 for a learning machine. For example, a trained learning machine may expect data to be provided in a particular format. The process can structure the data in a manner expected by the learning machine.

In order to expedite resolving technical issues. One or more forms of artificial intelligence, such as machine learning, can be employed such that a computing process or device may learn to resolve technical issues, without being explicitly programmed for the task. Using this training data, machine learning may employ techniques such as regression to estimate responsibility assignment. To produce such estimates, one or more quantities may be defined as a probability of resolution. For example, the characteristics of a solution to a previously submitted similar problem may be characterized as having a high level of success. Whereas, a solution that did not solve the previous problem may be characterized as having a low probability of success. As such, upon being trained, a learning machine may be capable of outputting a numerical value that represents a likelihood of success for a particular problem.

Input to the trained learning machine may take one or more forms. For example, representations of information about the technical problem be provided to the trained learning machine. One type of representation may be visual information (e.g. still images, video, etc.), for example, the visual information can include video/still images capturing during the recording process. Numerical representations describing the problem may also be used as inputs to the training machine, for example, applications involved, mouse movements, keystrokes, etc. Textual representations describing the accident may also be used as inputs to the training machine, for example, the transcription of the audio recording.)

To implement such an environment, one or more machine learning techniques may be employed. For example, supervised learning techniques may be implemented in which training is based on a desired output that is known for an input. Supervised learning can be considered an attempt to map inputs to outputs and then estimate outputs for previously unused inputs. For example, the training data may be supervised training data which includes a probability of success. In some implementations, the indication of probability of success may be partial (for example, a solution may technically solve the problem, but may be otherwise disadvantaged, or may only occasionally solve the problem), for example, the solution could be assigned a percentage score between 0 and 100, 100 indicating that the solution has always worked responsible and 0 indicating that the solution does not work. Other numeric representations and scales may be used.

Unsupervised learning techniques may also be used in which training is provided from known inputs but unknown outputs. Reinforcement learning techniques may also be employed in which the system can be considered as learning from consequences of actions taken (e.g., inputs values are known and feedback provides a performance measure). In some arrangements, the implemented technique may employ two or more of these methodologies.

In some arrangements, neural network techniques may be implemented using the data (e.g., vectors of numerical values that represent features of the accident) to invoke training algorithms for automatically learning about the technical issues and related information, such as likelihood of success. Such neural networks typically employ a number of layers. Once the layers and number of units for each layer is defined, weights and thresholds of the neural network are typically set to minimize the prediction error through training of the network. Such techniques for minimizing error can be considered as fitting a model (represented by the network) to the training data. By using the training data (e.g., accident information vectors), a function may be defined that quantifies error (e.g., a squared error function used in regression techniques). By minimizing error, a neural network may be developed that is capable of estimating accident responsibility. Other factors may also be accounted for during neutral network development. For example, a model may too closely attempt to fit data (e.g., fitting a curve to the extent that the modeling of an overall function is degraded). Such overfitting of a neural network may occur during the model training and one or more techniques may be implements to reduce its effects.

FIG. 5 illustrates an example of training a learning machine. To train a learning machine (e.g., implemented as a neural network), the service manager includes a learning machine trainer 504 that employs training data 502. In some arrangements, the trainer 504 may calculate numerical representations of technical problem related information (e.g., in vector form) for machine training. Various representations of the accident (e.g., images, text, numerical values, etc.) may be used for computing the accident information.

The learning machine trainer 504 uses the training data 502 and one or more training algorithms to generate a trained learning machine 506. The training data can include, for example, previously submitted reports about technical issues and solutions. The trained learning machine can be used to analyze accident information from previous reports and to select solutions.

In some instances, data generated by the trained learning machine and reviewed, for example, by a human reviewer, can be used to reinforce the trained learning machine 506.

Typically, a series of training cycles are executed to prepare a machine learning system. Once training is complete, the system may be used for determining a solution to a technical problem described in a report. To use such a trained system one or more different types of inputs may be utilized. For example, one or more numerical values may be provided that represent information about the technical issue. In one arrangement, a vector of numerical values that represent the features of a technical issue may be input. Some machine learning systems may be capable of calculating one or more features (e.g., numerical values) for representing technical problem information. For such systems, input data may simply represent one or more characteristics of the technical problem. For example, electronic images of the screen may be provided as input to the system which in turn calculates a vector of technical issue information. Provided the input data, the machine learning system may output a solution and a probability of success.

In some implementations, feedback provided by the user may be used to improve the functioning of the learning machine. For example, a user's feedback about the solution (for example, selecting yes or no 310, in the user interface on FIG. 3) can be used in a reinforcement learning system. In some implementations, a predetermined amount of negative feedback may remove a solution from the list of potential solutions. For example, if five users indicate that a solution did not solve the problem the solution may be removed. In some implementations, a predetermined amount of negative feedback may cause a potential solution to be less likely to be presented to the user (for example, down-voted). In some implementations, a predetermined amount of negative feedback may cause the solution to be flagged for manual review. In practice the predetermined amount of negative feedback may be determined based on a number of users (for example, 3-20) or a percentage of users (for example, 10%-40%). In some implementation, the percentage of users may be determined based on a rolling average, for example, if 10-40% of the users who were provided the potential solution in the last day, week, or month provided negative feedback then the solution is removed.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of an example process for resolving technical issues. The process may be performed by a computer system having one or more processors.

The process 600 receives 602 a session record of user producing a technical error on a computer system.

The process 600 provides 604 the session record for resolution to a processing system. For example, the process may provide the session record as input to one or more models that determine, based on the session record, at least one potential solution, the at least one model having been trained, using machine learning and based at least partly on previous sessions records and previously identified solutions, to provide potential solutions.

The process 600 provides 606 a potential solution to the technical error.

Implementations and all of the functional operations described in this specification may be realized in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer software, firmware, or hardware, including the structures disclosed in this specification and their structural equivalents, or in combinations of one or more of them. Implementations may be realized as one or more computer program products, i.e., one or more modules of computer program instructions encoded on a computer readable medium for execution by, or to control the operation of, data processing apparatus. The computer readable medium may be a machine-readable storage device, a machine-readable storage substrate, a memory device, a composition of matter effecting a machine-readable propagated signal, or a combination of one or more of them. The term “computing system” encompasses all apparatus, devices, and machines for processing data, including by way of example a programmable processor, a computer, or multiple processors or computers. The apparatus may include, in addition to hardware, code that creates an execution environment for the computer program in question, e.g., code that constitutes processor firmware, a protocol stack, a database management system, an operating system, or a combination of one or more of them. A propagated signal is an artificially generated signal, e.g., a machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signal that is generated to encode information for transmission to suitable receiver apparatus.

A computer program (also known as a program, software, software application, script, or code) may be written in any appropriate form of programming language, including compiled or interpreted languages, and it may be deployed in any appropriate form, including as a standalone program or as a module, component, subroutine, or other unit suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program does not necessarily correspond to a file in a file system. A program may be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data (e.g., one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), in a single file dedicated to the program in question, or in multiple coordinated files (e.g., files that store one or more modules, sub programs, or portions of code). A computer program may be deployed to be executed on one computer or on multiple computers that are located at one site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network.

The processes and logic flows described in this specification may be performed by one or more programmable processors executing one or more computer programs to perform functions by operating on input data and generating output. The processes and logic flows may also be performed by, and apparatus may also be implemented as, special purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit).

Processors suitable for the execution of a computer program include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors, and any one or more processors of any appropriate kind of digital computer. Generally, a processor may receive instructions and data from a read only memory or a random access memory or both. Elements of a computer can include a processor for performing instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computer may also include, or be operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto optical disks, or optical disks. However, a computer need not have such devices. Moreover, a computer may be embedded in another device, e.g., a mobile telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile audio player, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, to name just a few. Computer readable media suitable for storing computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, media and memory devices, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, e.g., internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto optical disks; and CD ROM and DVD-ROM disks. The processor and the memory may be supplemented by, or incorporated in, special purpose logic circuitry.

To provide for interaction with a user, implementations may be realized on a computer having a display device, e.g., a CRT (cathode ray tube) or LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor, for displaying information to the user and a keyboard and a pointing device, e.g., a mouse or a trackball, by which the user may provide input to the computer. Other kinds of devices may be used to provide for interaction with a user as well; for example, feedback provided to the user may be any appropriate form of sensory feedback, e.g., visual feedback, auditory feedback, or tactile feedback; and input from the user may be received in any appropriate form, including acoustic, speech, or tactile input.

Implementations may be realized in a computing system that includes a back end component, e.g., as a data server, or that includes a middleware component, e.g., an application server, or that includes a front end component, e.g., a client computer having a graphical UI or a web browser through which a user may interact with an implementation, or any appropriate combination of one or more such back end, middleware, or front end components. The components of the system may be interconnected by any appropriate form or medium of digital data communication, e.g., a communication network. Examples of communication networks include a local area network (“LAN”) and a wide area network (“WAN”), e.g., the Internet.

The computing system may include clients and servers. A client and server are generally remote from each other and typically interact through a communication network. The relationship of client and server arises by virtue of computer programs running on the respective computers and having a client-server relationship to each other.

While this specification contains many specifics, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the disclosure or of what may be claimed, but rather as descriptions of features specific to particular implementations. Certain features that are described in this specification in the context of separate implementations may also be implemented in combination in a single implementation. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single implementation may also be implemented in multiple implementations separately or in any suitable sub-combination. Moreover, although features may be described above as acting in certain combinations and even initially claimed as such, one or more features from a claimed combination may in some examples be excised from the combination, and the claimed combination may be directed to a sub-combination or variation of a sub-combination.

Similarly, while operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the implementations described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all implementations, and it should be understood that the described program components and systems may generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products.

A number of implementations have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. For example, various forms of the flows shown above may be used, with steps re-ordered, added, or removed. Accordingly, other implementations are within the scope of the following claims. 

What is claimed is:
